Multiple Nigerian outlets report that 12-year-old actor Chibuchi Francis (also reported as Chibuchi David Francis) wins a bronze medal at the 2026 World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Both sources describe the achievement as coming in the acting competition, specifically in the Ages 11–12 acting category.
The reports say the child performer secures third place at the global event and is recognized for acting during the championships. While one outlet refers to Francis as Chibuchi Francis and the other includes “David” as part of the name, both accounts attribute the medal to the same young Nigerian actor.
Neither source provides additional details such as the title of the performance, the judging criteria, or the specific judges, but both agree on the core facts: the winner’s age, Nigerian nationality, bronze medal at WCOPA 2026, and the location of Las Vegas.
